An efficient high-energy eye-safe optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on a type-Ⅱ non-critically phasematched KTP crystal is demonstrated.The KTP OPO is pumped by a quasi-cw diode side-pumped electrooptic Q-switched Nd:YAG laser in a compound-cavity configuration.The maximum output energy of the signal wavelength at 1.57 μm is 66.5 m J,corresponding to an electrical- to-optical conversion efficiency of 4.47% and an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 12.1%.The pulse width (FWHM) is about 3.6 ns with a peak power of 18.5 MW.The output energy is insensitive to repetition rate and demonstrates good stability.
